Job 36:5-15

5Yes, God is mighty, but he despises no one; he understands all things.

6He does not keep the wicked alive, but he gives justice to the oppressed.

7He does not withdraw his gaze from the righteous, but he seats them forever with enthroned kings, and they are exalted.

8If people are bound with chains and trapped by the cords of affliction,

9God tells them what they have done and how arrogantly they have transgressed.

10He opens their ears to correction and tells them to repent from iniquity.

11If they listen and serve him, they will end their days in prosperity and their years in happiness.

12But if they do not listen, they will cross the river of death and die without knowledge.

13Those who have a godless heart harbor anger; even when God binds them, they do not cry for help.

14They die in their youth; their life ends among male cult prostitutes.

15God rescues the afflicted by their affliction; he instructs them by their torment.
